I don't really have a dog in this fight so to speak (meaning I'm not some over enthused Hillary fan) but as someone who has followed politics closely for quite sometime, Hillary is no different from the others. They all lie.

What you said about Donald hits the nail on its head, he lies about everything even minimal things that don't require lying which is a trait that scares many especially in regards to him holding the most powerful position in the world. He has an inability to tell the truth, even on trivial things that go beyond typical politics.

You don't have a dog in this fight? You're not an American? You don't care about the Supreme Court and the entire future of the United States?

Yes, they all lie. Remember Clinton has a public stance and a private stance. But Bigfoot is exactly right. Trumps' lies may have hurt himself but Americans have not died because of them.

And, truthfully, Trump was not my first, second, third, even thirteenth choice but the more the media piles on the more I'm becoming determined to vote against Clinton.

Did you hear Gloria Allred has been contacted for years and years about Trump. Really? Allred has been chasing ambulances re "women's causes" for decades. She wouldn't have missed a chance to be on tv suing a Billionaire for a nano-second.

This should be a clue as to why Trump pulled out of campaigning in Virginia:

Hillary Clinton holds 15-point lead over Trump in Virginia

The direction of the discussion here really should go to Politics forum, as it's veering from a Northern Virginia aspect - but I had to point out that regardless of what you think of Hillary's remarks about a video and Benghazi, they were not the cause of the four deaths there.

It seems Hillary-haters have a problem understanding causality.

Of course, it got real when he amazingly got the nomination. Somebody that actually wanted to win the Presidency would tone down the crazy rhetoric....he stepped it up. He wants to lose, IMO.
I pretty much agree with this. It was a form a self promotion but he got the nomination.

Do you understand that ambassadors, United States ambassadors work directly for the secretary of state? This isn't just an issue that the boss is ultimately responsible but an example of how Hillary's staff decided to ignore Beghanzi and she willingly ignored the security requests and the deteriorating situation without doing anything.

The fact that Sidney Blumenthal was denied from being hired by the Whitehouse, yet was allowed to personally advise Hillary is an unfortunate demonstration of her ethics and leadership style.

Sidney was the primary advisor to Hillary on Beghanzi, not the ambassador who was there. Hillary even deleted Sidney's name from emails that she forwarded to her staff to hide the fact that Hillary was being advised on national security decisions by a friend who the Whitehouse disapproved.

Ok. But when I think of that phrase, I assume you have no stance. For example Alabama v. A&M this week. My sad team is not there so no dog.

But everyone has a dog in this fight.

Please check back with us after 4 years of Hilary. I guarantee you'll survive. She is maybe the least appealing Dem candidate I can remember in awhile but we will survive. We would ever survive a Trump term(the founding fathers did a pretty good job of designing our gov't) although the embarrassment he'd routinely cause would be difficult to watch.
